To enhance absorption of iron and other important vitamins and minerals, we've included ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in CitraNatal prescription prenatal vitamins. To guard against constipation—a problem for many pregnant women—our vitamins also contain a gentle stool softener, docusate sodium. Each CitraNatal tablet is scored for ease of breakage.
CitraNatal vitamins contain carbonyl iron. Studies show that carbonyl iron is safer than the traditional ferrous sulfate and it is generally well-tolerated.
Additional nutritional support is provided by: Vitamins C and E; Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6 to help counteract deficiencies common in pregnant women. CitraNatal vitamins also offer the benefits of zinc, copper, and iodine. Finally, CitraNatal vitamins contain an all-natural, vegetable based DHA source that is free of mercury, PCBs and other environmental contaminants sometimes found in fish oil.
CitraNatal vitamins should be used to supplement a healthy diet.
